Soft cover. Condition: New. Guest edited by architect Greg Lynn, Log 36: ROBOLOG explores the challenges and potentials posed to architecture by the rapidly accelerating field of robotics. Tossing aside the usual fabrication-focused discourse around robots, the 23 contributors to ROBOLOG investigate topics ranging from hyperreal…istic robotic drag queens to machine vision to buildings that move. In addition to a collection of thought-provoking essays, this issue includes conversations with Elizabeth Diller, Nicholas de Monchaux and Ken Goldberg, and Chuck Hoberman. Rather than providing easy answers or touting cutting-edge technologies, ROBOLOG offers provocations to both architects and theorists. Robotic sensors, actuators, and networks have fundamentally transformed the world around us. What will architecture choose to do with them.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How the twenty-one-layer Apollo spacesuit, made by Playtex, was a triumph of intimacy over engineering. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface in July of 1969, they wore spacesuits made by Playtex: twenty-one layers of fabric, each with a distinct yet interrelated… function, custom-sewn for them by seamstresses whose usual work was fashioning bras and girdles. This book is the story of that spacesuit. It is a story of the triumph over the military-industrial complex by the International Latex Corporation, best known by its consumer brand of "Playtex"-a victory of elegant softness over engineered hardness, of adaptation over cybernetics.Playtex's spacesuit went up against hard armor-like spacesuits designed by military contractors and favored by NASA's engineers. It was only when those attempts failed-when traditional engineering firms could not integrate the body into mission requirements-that Playtex, with its intimate expertise, got the job.In Spacesuit, Nicholas de Monchaux tells the story of the twenty-one-layer spacesuit in twenty-one chapters addressing twenty-one topics relevant to the suit, the body, and the technology of the twentieth century. He touches, among other things, on eighteenth-century androids, Christian Dior's New Look, Atlas missiles, cybernetics and cyborgs, latex, JFK's carefully cultivated image, the CBS lunar broadcast soundstage, NASA's Mission Control, and the applications of Apollo-style engineering to city planning. The twenty-one-layer spacesuit, de Monchaux argues, offers an object lesson. It tells us about redundancy and interdependence and about the distinctions between natural and man-made complexity; it teaches us to know the virtues of adaptation and to see the future as a set of possibilities rather than a scripted scenario. How the twenty-one-layer Apollo spacesuit, made by Playtex, was a triumph of intimacy over engineering. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - SOM - Journal 10 ist der neueste Band einer Reihe, in der das Architekturbüro Skidmore, Owings & Merril seine Projekte in kritischer Auseinandersetzung vorstellt. Wie in den letzten Ausgaben wurde auch h…ier eine fachkundige Jury aus Architekten und Kritikern ausgelobt, um die Projekte nicht nur anhand ihrer architektonischen und strukturellen Entwürfe, sondern auch mit ihren soziokulturellen und historischen Bezügen und Wirkweisen vorzustellen, die für diese Ausgabe ausgesucht wurden. Dabei ist das Architekturbüro schon für sich genommen eine Geschichte wert: Vor mehr als 80 Jahren gegründet, finden sich weltweit mehr als 10.000 errichtete Bauten. Aus dieser Perspektive heraus betrachtet, konzentriert sich dieses Kompendium darauf, wie ein großes Architekturbüro mit ihren Designideen den Fragen von Ethos und Erbe gegenübersteht. Die vorgestellten Projekte (Auswahl): Al Ahmadi Cultural Center, Al Ahmadi, Kuwait; Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Terminal 2, Mumbai, Indien; Denver Union Station, Denver, Colorado; The University Center at The New School, New York; Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank Headquarters, Shenzhen, China.
